Control boost? this is a BPV, not a wastegate. Completely different functions and mechanisms that operate with the opposite pressure. Wastegates open when a certain positive pressure is reached and bpv's open with vacuum. BPV's dont regulate anything, they just vent. Wastegates also vent, but they are bleeding air to regulate how much boost is made.

What you are talking about is wastegate flutter with an old/slow boost controller.
